The PC version is good. The fighting in the xbox version is ridiculous because of how broken the AI was in the original release.

Jade Empire...I'm not the best person to ask because I have a bit of a beef with Bioware, but I'll say this: I've found all of their games, whatever faults they may have, to be compelling enough to finish. Jade Empire was the exception: I couldn't make it in more than a few hours. Setting is a cool idea, but it basically is just KOTOR with even more derivative characters and a broken combat system.

But hey, (http://xbox.ign.com/articles/602/602787p1.html) IGN gave it 9.9 out of 10. Not that I want to discourage anyone from taking these things. Each game past the first really only raises the cost of shipping by $1 or so, so there's no harm in giving it a whirl.

Good question with GTASA. Sadly, this is the hilariously-named "second edition" (it actually says that on the disc) so yeah, it's a little bitch that blocks out mods. Sorry:(

Marked 'em off! I will say that Freedom Fighters was one of the big surprises of the year when it came out - now that squad-based shooters are a dime a dozen it's probably lost a lot of its appeal, but at the time it was quite slick and has a fantastic score.

So I'm getting a much bigger response than I anticipated, which is fantastic, but also means there is no way I'm getting all of these out Wednesday (I'd back up the post office line pretty bad!). I'll try to get at least a few out each day.

I'm in no hurry, so don't rush mine out.

Also, I doubt anyone will want CART Precision Racing, so even though it blew huge amounts of ass throw it in the pile.

Yeah, I got that as a freebie with some computer. But don't feel obligated to take it if you don't actually want it - the trash is a viable option for ass-games!

Oh, BTW, guys, I totally should have mentioned this in the first post (and I've retconned it in) but I'm American, so all consoles games are NTSC. So unless you've modded your console or have a North American one, you can't play 'em :(

Boxsmith: It's hard to say on Redemption. It was a buggy mess when first released, but the vast majority of those bugs were fixed in later patches. It does the story well, and I remember enjoying the setting quite a lot (it's as faithful as Bloodlines, plus it starts in medieval times) but the dungeon-hack combat was underwhelming. I'd say it's certainly worth a shot; I'd give it another spin myself if I didn't have such a backlog.
